Mac launchbar options11/30/2023 I'm going to switch this On so I can use this easily with Control F3 here. Some other keyboard shortcut that you're not using for something else like maybe Command Option D or something like that. You can just click here and assign it to something else. So if you plan on using this a lot you may want to actually go and change this to something else. Otherwise if it is Off you have to find the fn key on your keyboard. So you'd have to turn this On to actually do Control F3. Another thing is that under Keyboard here if you've got this thing turned Off then using these keys, like for instance the F12, will increase volume as you can see there. For one thing Control is at the bottom of your keyboard and F3 is at the top. Now that's not always the most convenient one to use. But you can get to that with a keyboard shortcut that you'll find when you go to Keyboard here and then look for this one, Move focus to the Dock. After all the main way is to move your pointer down to the bottom and then click on an icon. How do you actually use the Dock with just the keyboard. So if you change it to something else or turned it off that's why it may not be working. It's Option Command D and you have to have it checked. Go to Launchpad & Dock right here and you'll see Turn Dock Hiding On and Off. Now this keyboard shortcut is found in System Preferences under Keyboard and then Shortcuts. So it gets out of the way when you don't need it but when you do need it it will appear without any extra action. But only while the pointer is along the bottom. It hides except that if you then move your pointer to the bottom it will appear. You can Hide the Dock using the keyboard shortcut Option Command D. So the first one I want to show you simply hides the Dock because it takes up a lot of space at the bottom of the screen or even if you use it to the left or the right side. But, in fact, you have a lot of keyboard control over the Dock and can do just about anything with keyboard shortcuts. Something you would use mostly with your mouse or trackpad to move the pointer over an icon to launch an app. So the Dock seems like a very visual tool.
